Ubiquitous computing model have been in place since the 1970s (cite mindtools book). The data available to measure student success evolves with the technological tools available. The pedagogical models used in education range from tutorials to interactive websites.
One of the largest obstacles to student success in ubiquitous computing environments is the nature of the hardware and software as well as a third category, called wetware (cite sugarcamp). Wetware is the fluid language of programming and adaptive problem-solving using a computer. It is the least-developed aspect of teacher training.
While much data exists on hardware and software, as well as the inherent security risks, wetware knowledge remains a wide-open field for study. A new model call Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge is currently being developed.

The idea of on-line community has its place in educational technology and has evolved to the concept of a "personal learning network". This has manifested itself through various social networking multimedia sites as well as within educational proposals such as One Laptop Per Child's Mesh program using Sugar as an operating system. Vicki Davis defines the personal learning network as " cite source" .
